Cromagnon:
God forbid
Those failures

Name any Enugu governor that's better than Sullivan Chime
Name any Plateau State governor better than Jonah Jang
Name any Akwa Ibom governor better than Godswill Akpabio, is it Victor Attah, or this present albino
Name any Cross River state governor better than Donald Duke, is it Liyel Imoke or this Clueless Prof.

Talk with verifiable facts. I witnessed 1 month power supply in my life while in Nigeria from morning till night non stop, in 2012 during Sullivan Chime tenure in Enugu State. Dude knows his onions in urban renewal, go to Enugu state now

Beautiful project, excellent in conception and execution BUT; you don't do a project of this magnitude without a sustainability plan.

If you build a resort, you need LONG TERM plans on how to make it continuously profitable. Or even useful.

Long term planning (or the lack of it) is one big headache for Africans.

I read on online news that some of the streets of calabar are littered with heaps of waste materials. Please is it true ?

Very true

The Resort has been abandoned for long and during the End SARS Nationwide protest it was further vandalized and the few shops and mini malls that were still operating were robbed and destroyed, the hotel was also vandalized leaving carcass of a once beautiful resorts left to ruins.

The theatres, studios and most other facilities here are no longer functioning and mainly no events or exhibition goes on here.

I really hope this place is properly looked into and restructured to get it going and live up to its designed expectations as it is a big source of tourism income for Cross River State and the Nation.

is it government controled?? i mean state government controlled??

Coincidentally i just finished watching Stephen Ndukwe's documentary on youtube about the falling state of Obudu and Tinapa resort. It's a very big big shame to the present Governor Ben Ayade. Only what he knows how to do is SLEEP WITH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

And he still has the gut to buy presidential form to come and rule Nigeria. Posterity will judge him 100%

Bbsharon:
So, what exactly happened to this beautiful resort? Why has it become a deserted and abandoned place? While driving through we decided to stop at the reception by the entrance to the waterpark. We could see a swimming pool inside the park close to the water slide but I would dare not jump in that pool even if it's for free as it was crowded and looks dirty.


We were told we had to pay 1500 each to have access to an abandoned water park ride, a crowded swimming pool, and a few working restaurants offering local dishes. Well, we thought there was no need for that as it was not fascinating enough so we left and rather just drive through to observe the beautiful natural surroundings.

Execution before feasibility study.

Dpaulie:
We don't appreciate things like this in Nigeria.... na oyinbo thing

Na lie
We appreciate things like

It is just that the current "leader" and "system" starting from pres to councilor loves the country shitty

Ok

What exactly happened to the beautiful, attractive and popular tourist attraction known as Tinapa Resort Calabar should be a question every well meaning lover of tourism especially in Nigeria should be worried about.

I made a visit May, 2022 to this once beautiful centre of attraction that use to be a hub of great and captivating activities in the city of Calabar and it was clearly an eye sore, save for the beautiful and lush green environment and nature left to be admired, there was nothing else out of the ordinary to make it really worth your stay.

Here is a link to a beautiful video on my YouTube I made of the surroundings while driving through....

....I was corper dere back in 2012/2013.. tinapa is collecting 150k/250k.. at times close to 400k per week from those shop at t mart.. how do u expect dose shops to survive.... Am saying PER WEEK NOT MONTH

The government is not clueless, he did a great job. But the problem is advertisement, that's why things like this suit private investors more, there are estates like this in Lagos, and this people know how to attract customers, you will see some hotels as big as Eko hotel, but there will be no space.

For a governor to think of this, it's cool, improve your security, and the few people trying to force others to sit at home because of the 5 plots of land they were promise they get when the country divides, eliminate them, they are fighting for nothing but themselves. Because you can't be fighting for someone and be killing the person , and this people think they are wiser than everyone, like less than a thousand people think they can control millions of people to do what they want or die, you think you are wiser than everyone.

Government should just sentence Nnamdi Kanu to death by hanging, if not then Abubakar Shekau should have been taken to court instead.

The difference between both of them is one fool was enjoy life abroad, buy 350k Fendi up and down, sleeping with Ashawos, hid all his children abroad, that only few of his supporters know he has children, while the other fool was in the country with his children

Guy, you dey on weed? Wetin concern Nnadi Kanu and tinapa?
You yeye gon

It's very easy to blame Prof. Ayade alone but people forget there was a Liyel Imoke before him; both share the blame for the astronomical decline of Cross River State as Nigeria's leading tourist destination especially the incumbent governor.

A pity such promising site was abandoned to rot.

Lol! You are complaining of Tinapa. Drive to Delta Steel or Ajaokuta Steel and see utter neglect

MansoryMX:


Give it a year. Interpol or FBI will pick this guy you dey praise so. If you ask me why it means you are sensible and if you counter, you have a dead brain

His money is legit...He DEFEATED EFCC in court earlier this month.

Idiko1:
Nothing happened to TINAPA except the inherent idiotic stream of thought of Africans in general and Nigerians in particular.

Very much true.

Even Heaven would look like Hell, when Africans and blacks rule over it.

Ayade caused it

You just displayed your nonentity to the whole world...you advertently show how slow your brain process information.

What do you know?
EFCC na agency? Mtchewwwww!!!
Efcc that can’t trace bitcoin transactions. All the bitcoin he trades for people where do you think 80% of people are getting them from? Still yahoo.

I don’t think the place ever took off as it should have

Very beautiful place

Sustainability culture ~~~~~~ zero
Maintenance ~~~~~~ zero
Placing value on customers ~~~~ zero


Pilfering and corruption at all levels 100%

Visited Tinapa in 2009. Had real fun at the water park. The place had so much potential back then. It's sad to see it in such state. This country is just something else.

Ayade happened

I visited here during my NYSC. It was such a pity because there was very little activity going on here

The sad difference between Donald Duke and Tinubu. Tinubu is a thief and is not that genius to me but he is a visionary, can't take that from him. Lagos is running better after him. CR needs Duke to rule over them till death before things look up.
